Summary

As you no doubt heard by now, last week Donald Trump literally dined with one of the single most disgusting bigots in the country. Nick Fuentes is an open racist. This man jokes about the Holocaust and openly calls Black folk the "n word."

It would seem to be a softball for Republicans to denounce Trump meeting with a Neo-Nazi. But they actually can't. Why?

Because CURRENTLY ELECTED members of their own party have BEEN meeting with Nick Fuentes. And to denounce Trump for meeting with him would require them to literally denounce themselves.

Let me unpack and explain it.
